Hey everyone,

Patch 1.1660517H - Codename: Decked Vol II.

• Introduced a tooltip mode for controllers.
• Improved Glossary entries to be more helpful and more informative.
• Fixed a number of typos and textual errors in Events.
• Fixed an issue that caused parts of some localized (machine translated) tutorial windows to be off-screen.
• Removed much of the Coal from Scrapheap in Pilgrims of the Wasteland to avoid players accidentally buying it out and going broke during the early tutorial.
• Your Scouts can no longer find perilous calerus Events (that would slay an unprotected comitatus) when you have protective Equipment equipped.
• Localized steps and choices in Events are now marked differently if they were merely machine-translated or were translated by a person.
• Vitality and Power Regeneration are now correctly displayed on Companions character sheets.
• Companion Upkeep (daily) is raised by 5 Changers for Companions assigned to a Deputy role and this is reflected on their character sheet and the tooltip of Companion Upkeep.
• Dragging Market listings and dropping them earlier than your own cargo space will not purchase them now but cancel the interaction as it was supposed to.
• Tests in Events now indicate (via icons and tooltips) whose Perks are taken into account: the whole comitatuss, only those of the Companions previously selected to accompany the vagrus, or only the vagruss.
• In Crew Combat, you no longer need an active character to Stand Down once the enemy is retreating (as opposed to Pursue where you need someone to pursue the foe).
• Timers on Mercenary Tasks now stop when it makes sense narratively (and so timed task bonuses are granted based on this moment in time, not the moment of the turn-in). Once the timer stops, players have more freedom to turn in these Tasks. For example, the timer on Defense Tasks stops when the vagrus successfully defeated the foe during the defense battle.
• Equipment tooltips no longer display the price you originally bought it for (it was obsolete and confusing).
• The Mercenary Task UI in the Journal was significantly improved and now presents more information more consistently.
• Added a new setting to Options: Companion Loyalty Details. You can now use it to set the nature and depth of information the game log and Events provide on the Loyalty changes of Companions: Off: No feedback is provided. Basic (Default): Only the fact of the change is provided and its direction. Indicative: The measure of change is also provided (for example: Greatly disapproves, Slightly approves).
• The Font Size slider in Options became more informative (providing a percentage as well as demonstrating actual font size below the option, not in a janky tooltip).
• Damage from Critical Strikes in Companion Combat are now always calculated from the upper half of the used Skills damage value (for example, if the damage of the Skill is 3-6, then Critical Strikes from it are always calculated as if a 5 or a 6 were rolled).
• Critical Strikes in Companion Combat are now always Armor Piercing.
• The requirements of using certain Advanced Tactics in Crew Combat that were nebulous before are now much more informative (including why you cannot use one when you do not meet said requirements).
• Added and improved various new Crew Combat tooltips to provide better information on mechanics.
• The Spell Penetration Perk now provides the -15% Resistance it advertises.
• Negative Resistance values now raise damage from the specific type as it was originally intended (for example, a -50% Cold Resistance raises a Cold type damage of 2 to 3). The way Resistances work against Effects remains unchanged (ie. they provide a chance to entirely negate Effects when the Resistance roll is successful).
• Tweaked Companion Combat AI significantly, especially regarding the avoidance of performance drops and the use of Overwatch-type Skills.
• Penalties for successive Evade and Block attempts in the same Round have been doubled (for example, the second attempt in the Round incurred a -5% penalty and now it incurs a -10% penalty).
• The display of chances in Crew Combat (Critical Success, Success, Failure, Critical Failure percentages) now shows the actual percentages (this was only a display issue).
• Reworked the Faction Reward Filter button on the Settlement UI to be more logical, displaying the active filters status.
• Long savegame names will now be broken into more lines and they show in full on the loading screen.
• The (glitchy) highlighter on selected choices in Events was changed to a more subtle underline.
• The new Enervated Skill effect now has a proper icon and tooltip explaining it on the Character Sheet.
• The minimize button on tutorial popups was moved to the top right corner.
• Fixed missing or glitchy dependency icons in Events.
• All Mercenary Tasks now display objectives in the quest-style (using status-sensitive bullet points)
• Removing a Deputy that provides an Equipment slot for the /comitatus/ now refreshes the slots immediately, preventing players from keeping Equipment in a closed slot.
• When owning no Beasts of Burden, swapping to a different Beast Type no longer modifies Movement Points.
• Fixed some anomalies connected to leveling up Companions, so you will not lose Proficiency Points without getting the selected Perk levels (this could happen in certain combinations of language, Companion, and Skill/Perk selected).
• Fixed a Companion Combat AI issue that caused the erroneous calculation of the usefulness of Skills with certain effects (Buffs, Debuffs, DoTs, and HoTs). The AI will now use these Skills more often. This will also cause calculations to go faster, so Companion Combat will be quicker with some enemies.
• Characters with Spell Penetration will no longer get a -15 Resist All debuff at the beginning of each combat Round.
• Reflexive Skill effects in Companion Combat received their own icon and description.
• The rare case of a tooltip blocking its own button (happened in some resolutions) was fixed. Tooltip transparency now also allows you to click on buttons under them.
• Inconsistencies caused by the glitchy Display Mode setting that prevented certain resolutions to show up were fixed.
• Fixed some mismatching Escort Task flavor texts (regarding their objectives).
• The close icons on Price History are now distinct the left one (-) closes only Price History, the right one (x) closes the Chart, too.
• Escort Tasks that have a midpoint destination will now provide information about the status of that objective (ie. whether you have already been there).
• Camp Events can no longer trigger during nights spent in settlements.
• The Esc button can now be used to navigate back from the Savegame menu tab.
• Characters can no longer Evade twice in the same Turn of Companion Combat (for example, when Evading from an attack and into an overwatched position), and thus will no longer cause a softlock by doing so.
• The yields of Critical Successes in Hunting have been tweaked to give more supplies but less random goods.
• Hidden Compartments and Smuggers Compartments Equipment received the minimum 100 Cargo capacity requirement, thus preventing vagri from hiding everything they own if it was a small enough haul.
• Tooltip sizing was rebuilt from scratch: the new system is more robust with various fixes. For instance, tooltips can never float out of the screen.
• Non-hovering Characters who were floating over positions in Companion Combat no longer do so.
• Multiple instances of the Resistance stat from the same source (e.g. the same Gear) are now displayed correctly on Companions (i.e. added together).
• Activating Auto-Scouting no longer causes issues with the calculation and display of Movement Points and March Movement Points.
• Pieces of Equipment can not be placed into locked slots directly from the Market panes list.
• Fixed an issue that caused Faction reputation rewards for delivering certain Passengers to be displayed differently in the Journal and in the popup window upon their arrival, preventing the right amount of reputation to be added to your standing (often this meant no reputation at all).
• Tasks will no longer disappear from your Journals Active pane while standing on the target Node before actually turning them in. They will be shown as Ready while standing on the target Node but revert to Active when moving away from it.
• Maximum Resourcefulness upgrade tooltips on the Leader UI have been clarified further to make a distinction between your current maximum and the absolute maximum of 12 Resourcefulness. Now they always display how much Insight it costs to raise the stat and mention only the absolute maximum until it is reached.
• The tooltips of effects that belong to the comitatus (like Crew Properties) will now add up bonuses for the same stat from different sources.
• Updated how Trade Tasks display the Goods you have to deliver to the destination to be more streamlined.
• Fixed an issue that allowed an exploit to use infinite Insight when generating a new player character.
• Hunting and Foraging will now actually grant yields when successful even if the comitatus is camped via an Event.
• Fixed an issue that allowed the skipping of compulsory camping during Event sequences.
• The display of potential Faction rewards were changed to show all contextual/conditional requirements for certain rewards (e.g. a specific Beast Type to gain a bonus) and you can also see which of these requirements you currently satisfy.
• Tooltip flickering on high refresh rates was fixed.
• Localization: Certain characters from Chinese and Japanese fonts that caused display issues specifically on the character creation screens and ending slides should now appear properly.
• When a Passenger disembarks via an Event choice and thus offers no regular Passenger reward, the UI display is now clearer about this fact
• In Crew Combat, we fixed some texts that could overlap
• The Odd Jobs window not showing up to display results was fixed
• Fixed the issue of two entities occupying the same position in Companion Combat
• Rolling a critical success on hunting and foraging provides extra loot now properly (as originally intended)
• Odd Jobs now correctly use 2 MPs if the player has enough remaining MPs instead of always using up Vigor
• It is no longer possible to enslave 0 enemies in Crew Combat
• You cannot enslave more enemies than the number of living characters in Crew Combat
